No, you wrong.
It can't be displayed in all fiction media (game certainly is).
So, we had to remove it even from video-chronicles.

Not so much an dev issue put publicity....

Certainly in the UK getting the product visible around Battle of Britain Day might spur alot of mature gamers to double take...even get a publicity stunt going with a BOB pilot having a quick go with a Hori and a nice big plasma..

just trying to think out of the box because this game seems invisible to many..

as for swatikas...the black cross is fine...if the swatika was there it would be someting else to aim at...(hey "Swatika Nailer" bonus in arcade )

Wait, what?! Really.. since when is this? I have played recent video games, example, Call of Duty: World at War, and there's Swastikas all over the place.. nobody got in trouble for that. And as long as I can remember, every WWII game I played, had Swastikas in it.

Please, Anton, don't get the impression that I'm angry, because I'm not.. I just think its stupid if you were forced to take them out because people thought it was inappropriate for the game when its based during WWII and shooting down the Germans.

[Edit]: Sorry, I misunderstood the situation, however, I still have a question, in the copies sold to North America, will there be swastikas in the game? Not really important, just curious.

Probably not, just because of the effort involved in making two versions of each skin for each German aircraft.

No swastikas in the game. Period.
